Like free stuff? If you’re an MIT student, did you know you can get a free virtual machine, courtesy of SIPB’s XVM project? (And if you’re not an MIT student, well sorry, this guide probably won’t be very useful then.) That’s right, your own tiny VM, for free! Mandatory disclaimer: the VMs are indeed… very tiny, with only one core and 512 MiB of RAM, and XVM has some quirks. But you can still do a lot of cool stuff with it!
